hi all,

I'm interested to know if there are any recommended Twitter lists around biodiversity, Also, is there any specific initiative in this community around using Twitter?

Hi Brad, here's a fairly long list of biodiversity folk on Twitter. Also most of the biodiversity blogs I listed here have Twitter accounts attached to them

Thanks, Emma. I agree about the noise. I'm not interested in more distraction. I'm working on ways to distill the Twitter traffic around biodiversity so it's much more useful. Curious about who's using what at the moment. Twitter lists seem the best practices at the moment. 

What about Google+? anybody using that much?

I use twitter as a source of  news but there is an awful lot of dross out there. I also think its a bit addictive as you get messages all the time. I suppose the question is whether you want lots of information coming in to you or whether you prefer to search for information when you need it. Personally, I'm more in the latter camp most of the time.
